What does the VAT Calculator do?
VAT (value-added tax) is charged in the UK, EU, UAE, Saudi Arabia and many other countries. Rates vary — for example 20% standard in the UK, 5% in the UAE and 15% in Saudi Arabia at the time of writing — so enter the rate you need.
To find the VAT in a VAT-inclusive price, the calculator divides by (1 + rate) rather than subtracting a percentage, giving the correct net value.
